Concept information

Preferred term

refugee communities  

Definition(s)

  • More than 50 million people around the globe are displaced by war, persecution, and the proliferation of complex humanitarian emergencies; they are refugees, asylum seekers, those displaced by turmoil within their own countries. Arguably, their social world is the antithesis of community. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community: From the Village to the Virtual World; Refugee Communities]
